12-year-old Dre Parker could have been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying but the cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make him an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is a kung fu master. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

As noted on a featurette, Jackie Chan was the one who came up with the "jacket" routine as a means of teaching Dre Kung Fu moves.
Producer Will Smith said Jackie Chan was held in such high regard in China that he was able to use his status to help with many aspects of the production, such as getting permission to shoot in certain locations for filming.
The first movie to shoot in The Forbidden City since Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor (1987).
Ralph Macchio, the star of the original Karate Kid film declined the offer of a cameo in this film.
Jaden Smith spent three months in training for this movie.
"Mr. Han: Being still and doing nothing are two very different things."
"Mr. Han: Your focus needs more focus."
